Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Solution:

Given

θ = 22

Y = 203m

The law of tangent which is also called as tangent formula or tangent rule is the ratio of the sine of the angle to the cos of the angle.

Tan Θ = Opposite / Adjacent.

Here

Tanθ = opposite/ adjacent.

Substituting the values

tan22° = 203/x

0.404 = 203/x

So we get,

x = 203/0.404

x = 502.44m

Therefore, the value of x is 502.44m

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Summary:

The value of x rounded to tenth unit is 502.44m
